    I posted on the official forums about a broken mob that needs fixing, and immediately had a bunch of people jumping in to defend the mob and act like it "added character" to the zone it was in. Or something like that. It really felt like a bunch of bots immediately converging on my wrong think...

    Hey don't count them out yet, maybe they'll give us Chrono Trigger and FF9 ports and win over all the fanboys again. Then Final Fantasy 17 might end up being one of the best fighting games of all time. Square Enix bay-bee

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Didn't know Mustadio was that effective. Yeah, for me usually Monk Ramza and Orlandu ended up doing 90% (at least) of the murdering by endgame while everyone else followed them around buffing. How many versions of this are there? Just PS1 and PSP? I could have sworn there was a newer version...

    Grinding Brave stat up, lowering Faith stat, and learning Hamedo = laughably invincible characters. Makes the game super boring though. I'd like if they closed the gap between Orlandu and everyone else in the lategame. Sounds like Meliadoul isn't far off from him in the remake at least. Agrias...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    I'd like to play an FFT PS1 that simply lets you back out of multi-fight locations. Seems like they dumped most of the game's worst fights right behind save-walls / multi-part locations just to ensure the player gets trapped. "Just make backup saves, who doesn't make backup saves" is easy for...

    Yeah the first run PS3 that can also play PS2 was something I really wanted and just missed getting. To this day it still bugs me because I've got a PS2 taking up shelf space and it's a bit of an eyesore. I'd agree that was the last time being an early adopter made a whole lot of sense, outside...

    Oh yeah, Dorter Trade City was a real bastard and forces you to grow up quick with learning the game. Looking up the chocobo fight since I can't remember the name of it, found this: http://www.coronajumper.com/2016/04/the-top-ten-most-difficult-battles-in.html Finnath Creek is the map. Yeah...

    True story, I had a brand new copy of Phantom Hourglass and it went missing pretty much right away. A couple years later I got a used game-only copy of it, actually played through it (meh), sold it. Fast forward about ten more years and during a move I found the original CIB copy under some...

    WTS my Switch OLED. Still has a nicer screen than the new one, but I don't have any use for it now since I'm not really using portable mode Switch anymore. Perfect condition, about 3 years old. Will cut you a deal if it's for a kid, either way it'll be less than the going rate. Got a day or two...

    I don't even pay attention to Zelda series "lore" because it doesn't make any sense. This supposed origin story causes a bunch of continuity errors and isn't a real origin story besides that they tried to frame it as one to get fans more interested in it. I liked the early games and always...

    The latest mystery zoneline: Jaggedpine Forest was probably supposed to be part of the classic game. On all the maps for that Qeynos Hills/Everfrost region. Got finished and added in much later. What I'm wondering is... what zone was this zoneline supposed to go to? I'm thinking a zone that...

    Oh man, if this new version has un-nerfed Wiegraf from the original...lot of people are gonna be in for it. The Riovanes debacle was really a 4-tiered "hard reset" situation. The Wiegraf fight could end your playthrough, the Velius fight right after it could end your playthrough, the rooftop...

    900 Korok Seeds? Sounds like the 999 Moons you can get in Mario Odyssey. You CAN do it, but why would you want to? Maybe if I were ten and it was the only game I had to play, like Link's Awakening was for me back in the day (got all the seashells). Yeah, pretty much. I like the version of...

    Yeah, I've played the Hyrule Warriors duo. The second one made very little sense to me due to not playing BOTW but I absorbed a fair amount of it. Is Echoes of Wisdom short? That'd be a cool thing to run through if it's on the short side. I think I'll probably park Skyward since trying to get...

    Was about to say, Miyamoto was right, BOTW really IS Nintendo's Skyrim. Hard to believe I've never played more than 2 hours or so of BOTW. Wasn't a fan of the washed-out, undetailed look on Switch 1, for years it has struck me as a way-inferior Elden Ring. Like everything it does, Elden Ring...

    Do I need an SD card for the Switch 2? Sounds like it. The one I had in the Switch 1 doesn't work in Switch 2, despite being a pretty standard card. Heard that's been the case with a lot of folks. No idea what cards DO work with the Switch 2. Maybe I can get by without it for a while, since...

    Different company I thought? Well, we'll see. My expectations are pretty much bare minimum on most of these port situations. What I'd like to see is them fixing Cloud to make him actually useful. He's one of the worst characters in FFT, and it's a shame because his attacks look REALLY cool...

    3 groups sounds about right. Someone'll probably ackshually that it can be done with 2, but I'd bring 3. Can chain-spawn it (clearly) so if a couple clerics are almost done you can go do their other fights (Girplan) and then double/triple up on Zordaks. Less running all the way through TD is a...

    Highly doubt it. The Pixel Remasters of FF1-6 got rid of all the extra stuff added by later versions of those games and went back to their base forms.

    No buyer's remorse here. Was going to get it within a few months regardless for Prime 4, and now I don't need to worry about hunting one down. The price won't change at all in the meantime (hell, according to the MSM it'll go UP because tariffs are comin' to get us lol) so it isn't a situation...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    I guess I stopped paying attention around the 80% mark when the Evil Queen stopped being the antagonist. For me the whole story with her was way superior to the endgame stuff and I'm not sure why they replaced her. FF does that kind of thing a lot, though.

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    FF16's final bad guy reminded me a lot of Necron. Very out of nowhere and a similar design. Necron himself was supposed to be Necrophobe from FF5 (the penultimate bad guy, served as the underboss of all of Exdeath's goons). An odd choice to bring back for FF9's final boss outta nowhere. FF13-2...

    Is there such a thing as Virtual Boy emulators? I don't think I ever even thought about this before in the 27 years I've been emulating things. I'd kinda like to play the Wario Land game for VB (and that's it lol) since it's the only Wario Land game I had no way to play as a kid. Emulation on a...

    Honestly not sure why anybody would go through any particular hoops to buy a Switch 2. For me lining up was a chance to do a social event for a system launch for the first time since the Wii, and had very little to do with the actual system. The system itself has like...nothing to it currently...

    Are those the "ultimate" levels? Every 3D Mario has some ultimate challenge once you get all the stars (well, all of the games after a certain point). If so, then it sounds like 500 moons might be the "finish line" for a completionist playthrough. From what I've read, getting all the moons is...

    It's one of those games that if you're going to play it, you gotta focus on it and get into it. Sort of like a Fromsoft game. Just giving it a cursory look or trying to play it in small bits alongside other things probably isn't going to work that well / you won't get as much out of it. Also...

    Whatever you do, don't buy the overpriced "new versions" of BOTW and TOTK. Just pay the $10 to patch your old copies. Not sure why they're even selling the new versions like it's some sort of new remaster. The new versions improve the framerate substantially, and the draw distance is better...

    Just finished with all the single-player content in Mario Kart 9 (didn't take long), looking for something else to do with the Switch 2 (lol). Might resume Mario Odyssey. I beat the game but only had like 150/900 moons. I got all the Stars/Shines in the other 3D Marioes, but Odyssey has like a...

    Vagrant Story, now that's something that could really use a remaster. One of the best PS1 games and it's basically lost to time / too ugly to play now. In the same limbo as Xenogears and Bloodborne. I played Vagrant Story's soundtrack over Dark Souls 1's silent areas one of the times I played...

    Daisy, surprisingly, is where it's at. Swimsuit Daisy is probably the best, she's got a few sexy outfits though. Pauline is also in that ballpark, whether in the red dress or the tight racing uniform (weirdly enough they only gave her two outfits). None of Peach's outfits really do it for me...

    Oh yeah, I didn't get the new Pro Controller, because the old S1 one works with the S2. However, from your description, I think I'll go back and get it after all.

    The Grand Prix courses stop and start like regular Mario Kart levels, even though the levels are designed to flow into each other geographically. There's another mode, Knockout Race or something like that, where the courses are one after another without stopping and it's more fun. The cups are...

    Gamestop is so idiotic with their staples and stickers. They tell the employees to do things a certain way and the drone-like employees just comply even if it doesn't make sense. Which is why you get stickers and staples on things that get damaged by them. Like my local grocery store having to...
